Hey Jestyr,

Can you swap the pic of me you have up there with this one?

Audax, I feel like I should warn you, since I did suggest this in the first place. You must be prepared to get screwed over, over and over again. Only every tenth new fighter who orders from you will have The Fire. Maybe. The rest will order something and vanish. Also, new folks who are unaccustomed...

I think you'd be amazed as to what level the Society has 'infiltrated' the academic world.

Still needed; new gorget. Padded doublet, pants reduced around waist (I made them 20lbs ago) and pointed to said doublet. A proper belt with a hanger and backup weapon.

It was a <i>tiny</i> list field. Like, the smallest I've ever seen. MAYBE 10 feet to a side. MAYBE. The Calontiri fight indoors all winter long, and all the list fields shrink down to what I have taken to call, the Calontir Postage Stamp.

It sucks if you're a polearm fighter! :lol:

I have a sample size of 2 events. Calon Jubilee and Valor. However, I have zero evidence (even hearsay) of great/bastard sword tourneys where thrusting it allowed.

Re: Is anywhere else in the SCA as weird as the West Kingdom

Fair enough. Setting aside our not permitting light weapons combat for the moment, is there something in particular about our kingdom's heavy weapons combat rules and conventions that are as far out of line with Society-wide standards as the Westie arm-hunting prejudice? I don't know from 'out of l...
